After Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy earned a zillion dollars, a slew of Oscars, and a place at the tip top of the Hollywood pyramid, Jackson was able to write his own ticket. As his follow-up project, Jackson chose to remake King Kong, which had industry observers scratching their heads. Historically, sequels and remakes of the original Kong range from bad to unwatchable, and while Jackson certainly knows effects and storytelling, Kong remakes seem to be cursed endeavors. Voodoo or no, they're probably ill-advised. 1933's Kong is one of those movie archetypes that really shouldn't be messed with. read the full review | |

Untraceable | | | Starring: Diane Lane Billy Burke Director: Gregory Hoblit | | Format: DVD Release Date: 9/22/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 | | Untraceable - DVD Review By: Lori Kapes - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 5/24/2008 2:56 PM | | The killer's point is that we are human and can't turn away from a car wreck or from seeing someone else suffer. While I commend the writers for not shoving this message down our throats like the first Saw, the little one liners are so obvious.

 | | 12. Great Buck Howard (Blu-ray) | | | Starring: Colin Hanks Emily Blunt Director: Sean McGinly | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 7/21/2009 | | The Great Buck Howard - DVD Review By: Paul Brenner - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 7/10/2009 4:48 PM | |
How can a film that features a lofty tribute to The Amazing Kreskin before the end credits go wrong? Well, in Sean McGinly's sweet and mushy comedy The Great Buck Howard, the film doesn't really go wrong... but then it doesn't really go right either. The film celebrates the D-list world of third-rate celebrities, celebrities whose popularity has waned, whose 15 minutes of fame were over a long time ago, with one-night stands not in Vegas or L.A., but Bakersfield and Akron. John Malkovich, the film's main delight, feasts upon his role as Buck Howard, in a joyful performance on par with his gluttonous work in Color Me Kubrick and Being John Malkovich. read the full review | |
